Crisis Committees
Crisis Committees are fast-paced committees that require delegates to think on their feet, problem-solve, and strategize in order to achieve the goals of their character.

The Sky Is Falling: Responses to the War in Kosovo, 1999
War. Major powers. Egotistical leaders. All the perfect ingredients for an international crisis. In The Sky Is Falling: Responses to the War in Kosovo, 1999, delegates will take the roles of heads of government as they debate best actions to diplomatically end the Kosovo War, and a new world order following the Cold War. Will you make the sky fall? Or will you prevent the outbreak of violence and reach a negotiated solution?

Bread, Education, Freedom: The Greek Junta and the Athens Polytechnic Uprising, 1973
The students are rising up! They march through the streets of Athens, demanding the end of the military junta that has ruled the country since 1967. As the cabinet, both of military leaders and ousted– but still influential– former governmental administrators and leaders, you must decide how to resolve the conflict. Will you buckle to democratic pressure? Or crack down harder than ever.

JCC Mustachioed Madness: The Risorgimento
The year is 1848, and revolution has swept through the conservative monarchies of Europe. People from all walks of life are demanding change. Furthermore, the nationalistic seeds sown by Napoleon during his conquests decades before are starting to bear fruit. Revolutionaries are starting to wonder if unity between the disparate states across the Italian peninsula is truly possible. You, as the monarchies and rebel groups across Italy, must resolve that question.

Turbulent Waters: SpongeBob and the Lost Krabby Patty Formula
Do You Have the Will? The Reichmann Killer
The Krabby Patty is more than just a burger in Bikini Bottom; it is a symbol of the town’s culinary success, and its secret recipe is the crown jewel of the Krusty Krab. It was just stolen. Now, the townspeople of Bikini Bottom have come together to solve this dire economic and political issue. Are you ready, kids?
Chair: Novia Jiang
Crisis Director: Jeremy Young
Mary Reichmann is dead. And everyone is a suspect. The Estate has been locked down, and everyone’s motives are suspect. As the members of the family, it is up to you to figure out this dastardly crime. Money, fame, and blame are all in the balance.

JCC: Beneath the Surface: The Piltover-Zaun Conflict
Ad Hoc of the Secretary-General
As the ash sets on the ground and the cries of the victims’ families echo across the City of Progress, the world around us sets into motion, facing the questions of dire necessity – matter of survival even. There’s a revolution brewing upside and a conflict of interests rattling the topside – and all is fair in war and progress. The fragile peace has been shattered, and there’s no telling what comes next.
Piltover Chair: Jason Uranta
Zaun Chair: Andrew Xu
Crisis Director: Dasha Dmitrieva
Ad Hoc is a fast-paced committee meant for advanced delegates. The topic will be announced during the first committee session but stay tuned for clues leading up the conference. Only delegates with crisis experience should select this committee. Be prepared to conquer or be conquered! Bona fortuna legatio!
